There's one other big downside to the mapping-from-names-to-nodes technique that I forgot to mention. If you plan to delete connections between nodes, and the structure is intricate enough that you don't know whether you can safely delete the node itself, then you can potentially end up with orphan name->node pairs in your mapping that are unnecessary. Cleaning these up would basically mean you'd have to write your own garbage collection routines.
If you work with real pointers, you get garbage collection for free. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
